       RC saw motor conversion
       By: aclarke Date: April 1, 2016, 2:58 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       My son just ordered a large scale RC plane (80" wingspan) that
       calls for a 30-50cc gas motor. Been looking at the Zenoah plane
       motors but they're kinda pricey. Anyone have any ideas on any
       saw motors in this size range that would fit the bill.  Seems
       like the calm shell configuration might be easier to convert.
       Any ideas woukd be appreciated
       Adam

       Yes on the clamshells.
       Stihl MS250 Chinese clone ($32.50 w free ship) would fit the
       bill. You would need a hub, electronic ignition ($50), and a
       intake manifold/carb.  Could even use a MS 250 muffler
       especially if you get the two piece one that comes apart so you
       can open it up some. Saw off the PTO side of the crank and your
       prop hub goes on the flywheel end

       Ok cool, so machine a prop adapter that bolts directly to the
       flywheel?

       there are people around that can machine you an 6061 aluminum
       hub that threads onto the crank which includes the magnet for
       the ignition timing sensor. These same people could make you the
       aluminum carb adapter.
       A Walbro WT215 carb from Stihl is $22.50.
       It will turn a 20 X 8 prop around 7,000 rpm which is ideal.

       Good deal, Thanks for the info.  What are your thoughts on
       mounting the carb to the cylinder?  Hose clamps and some rubber
       tube?

       The typical scenario is to have a aluminum cylindrical adapter
       with set screws impinging upon the existing carburetor spigot.
       You with then need a white nylon or black Delrin insulator
       between the adapter and the carburetor or you will have hot
       start problems.
       If you commission someone who has made the timing/prop hub and
       carb adapters before, they will know exactly what you are
       talking about.
       I have a 50cc Echo/Kioritz 621 already converted if you are
       interested. it turns a 22 X 8 at 6900 - 7000. It was sold as a
       BME 50
